RM#2 : Coffee Caramel Cake

I saw this cake in a German Magazine. And the instant I saw it, I fell in luv with it and tried to make one. For the 1st time itself, it came out excellent and my son & me, we are coffee lovers, liked it very much. It is no-fuss cake.

Method
Roast the powdered almonds in a pan till you get the aroma of it. In a bowl beat together the butter, sugar, vanilla-sugar, salt and 20 gm coffee powder. One by one add the eggs and keep beating. Add the curd and beat again. Fold in the flour and the backing powder. And beat till a get a pouring consistency. Add the roasted almond powder, mix again. Pour this mixture in a greased cake form. Bake in a pre-heated oven for about 60 min. at 175 degree.

Once the cake is done take it out and let it cool. Boil 50 ml water and add the rest of the coffee powder to this water. In another sauce pan cook the butter and sugar together till you get light brown caramel. To this add the whipping cream and cook again. Till you get the thick consistency again. Add the coffee mixture and cook again for about 5 min. Let it cool. Pour this mixture over the cake and let it set for sometime.
